How many times are we making the same fucking game over and over again? Holy shit!

It's like everything I hate all put into one game. And they keep reselling it.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Fortnite! with Overwatch Characters! and the color PURPLE!

 

[Rush2112]

GenZ games are trash. Bring back early 2000s.

 

[JCK75]

I want to see a better shooter wipe Fortnite out of existance...
but this just looks like complete shit.. who sees those shitty weapons and thinks that looks fun?

 

[DeepEnigma]

the color PURPLE!

I swear the batch of these current game's focus group is Ree.

I love me some Prince purple, but not that mental faculty of an asylum.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

So is this 2K’s “Concord killer”??

"We desperately want that Fortnite money and we aren't even trying to hide it."

 

[Icymanipulator]

My curiosity and excitement from reading the thread title to entering the thread dropped like a stone in water.

 

[digital_ghost]

To be fair that's a cool looking stick, highly stylized.

Id play with that stick even if i get splinters. More appealing than this game.

You should remember this feeling from now on whenever you see '2k Games'.

Without Zynga, Rockstar Games, and Sports, they would be a dead company.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Another big purple game.

 

[Represent.]

I personally am LOVING the replies to the tween from Geoff.

Not a single positive response, usually Theres at least a few "give it a chance" softies in there. Nope. Complete and utter annihilation.

These devs man, it's time to stop chasing trends. Fools.

 

[mrqs]

They've been working on this for the last 5 years. They hired Overwatch's writer back in 2021. And this is going to flop extremely hard, yet again.

I understand that executives are stupid. But what's the joy of working for 5 years on yet another Fortnite-like GaaS game? Why do the studio's founder would go with Take Two/2K to work on that? Is that worth 5 years of their life, that will end up to nothing?

Extremely frustrating to players and all the devs involved.

 

[mitch1971]

OP...

 

[Lupin3]

Can't wait.

So I won't.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

 

[Salmon Snake]

Hahaha the title made me so hyped and then..

 

[Fermbiz]

Im so glad to have grown up pretty much at the dawn of gaming. I feel sorry for today's kids who think games like this are amazing.

 

[dispensergoinup]

I got fully bamboozled, congrats OP.

 

[hemo memo]

Why did I expect something exciting? Of course it's going to be a generic GaaS. It's 2K.

 

[Calico345]

*tries to think of something nice to say about the horrid game…*

Umm, at least they aren’t charging $40 for it???

*shrugs and leaves*

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

 

[DR3AM]

It might not even last as long as Concord

 

[GermanZepp]

Thread title got you excited huh

, its just another generic GAAS trash hero shooter with the exact same artstyle

, will be dead in a week or less.

imagine still releasing this after Flopcord.

My god, these new age devs need to leave the industry. A stick has more creativity.

 

[RavageX]

I almost think these companies are trying to create failures. Maybe the feedback will cause them to pull the plug.

medieval dick move

 

[Kikorin]

Wait, I thought Fortnite was developed and published by Epic

 

[Complistic]

Man, there's a lot to unpack in that trailer.

Asking a developer to stop chasing trends is like asking a sailor to stop adjusting his sails based on the direction of the wind. A completely illogical statement.

Also, mediocre Battle Royale game Off the Grid seemed to have solid launch numbers which suggest a thirst for a new experience in BR is real.

It's more like asking a sailor not to sail into icebergs, but sure.

 

[Come On Tars]

I took the bait so hard damn

 

[Branded]

This looks awful. I really wish we'd get away from this art style and aesthetic. It all looks like Fortnite, lol.

It's the games industry version of Corporate Memphis.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

It's more like asking a sailor not to sail into icebergs, but sure.

That's always going to happen.

Ignoring the wind would be a far more consequential folly in the grand scale.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Today, you chose pain.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

How many times are we making the same fucking game over and over again? Holy shit!

Straight up Dollar Tree Fortnite art style.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Not only is the character art bad but the jigsaw-brick paving scale looks fucked.

 

[Neon Xenon]

The second definition of the word "ethos" here is listing "character", which makes "Project Ethos" a funny name because there is almost no character to what's been shown. This looks like a fake Fortnite knockoff that you would see in a TV show.

 

[lockdown2222]

It's moments like this that I feel gaming is dead. People used to create games to push engaging, fascinating stories. Now they're trying to milk the money out of you with bland creations and sell it as sophistication.

 

[lh032]

One of the worst surprise ever , thanks OP

 

[Kdad]

Works for Pokemon

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

OP. You're better than this.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Project dogshit.

 

[eNT1TY]

At this point you have to be pretty obtuse to not see the writing on the wall and look at this project and think to yourself "yeah this will do".

NeoGAF hates trends except when it's another remake of 20 years old horror game or a new Soulslike.

 

[Northeastmonk]

We went from watching E3 to watching the next Fortnite clone come out. Maybe they paid Geoff for the spotlight.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

It's always been this way.

NeoGAF: "No don't chase THOSE trends! Chase THESE trends!"

[nikos]

I'll give it a try.
